What is Asbestos Asbestos is a natural fiber, which was commonly used in fireproofing materials and insulation. Asbestos fibers are so small, they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The primary danger from asbestos is from inhaling the fibers into the lungs. Once inhaled, some asbestos fibers will remain in the body forever. Over long periods of time, inhaled asbestos fibers can cause life threatening and fatal diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
Researchers have not determined a safe level of exposure to asbestos. However, scientists and doctors have determined that the greater and longer the exposure to asbestos, the higher the risk of suffering asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestosis is a serious lung disease caused when asbestos fibers are inhaled and become lodged in the inner layers of the lungs. Asbestosis is not a type of cancer, and it is different from mesothelioma.
Studies show the same inflammatory process, which causes asbestosis can lead to cancer developing in the tissue of the lungs.
